4. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Abbās ibn Ma’rūf, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, from Ḥakam Al-Ḥannāť, from Ďurays, from Abī Khālid Al-Kābuli, who said: I heard Abā Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ) explain the verse, “Permission (to fight) is given to those against whom war is made, because they have been oppressed, and verily Allāh is potent to help them” (22:39).

(The Imam said), “This verse was revealed about ‘Ali, Ḥasan, and Ḥusain .”
